Visual stimulation helps prevent spring drowsiness
For most people, spring drowsiness is an objective reaction to physiological changes brought by the changing seasons. To eliminate spring drowsiness, female experts suggest paying attention to the following points:
First, go to bed early and wake up early.
In spring, with good rest and sleep, the body can be regulated and replenished, which further increases its ability to withstand stress and reduces daytime drowsiness. Sleeping in does not increase blood supply to the brain; on the contrary, it causes inertia, making you sleepier and lazier. Another point to note is to try not to stay up late in spring, so as to avoid inducing and aggravating spring drowsiness.
Second, do scalp exercises.
Doing scalp exercises persistently in spring can eliminate brain drowsiness. The method is: first, naturally curl and bring the ten fingers of both hands together, and use the fingertips to stroke the entire hairline forcefully 10 times from front to back, from the middle to the sides. Then, use the ten fingers in the previous order to press forcefully point by point 3 times. Next, use the ten fingers in the previous order to scratch short distances back and forth 3 times, scratching each area 5 times. Finally, use the ten fingers in the previous order to massage gently and slowly 5 times. Doing this once in the morning and once before going to bed every day can make you energetic and sharp-minded, and it is a simple and effective way to eliminate brain fatigue and drowsiness.
Third, visual stimulation.
In spring, go outdoors, look far into the distance, and let the beautiful scenery of nature fill your eyes, giving yourself good visual stimulation, which helps to eliminate spring drowsiness.
Fourth, diet adjustment.
A scientific diet also has a positive effect on solving spring drowsiness. Spring diet should be light, fresh, and easy to digest. Foods such as green vegetables, carrots, Malantou (a type of green), celery, bok choy, and water chestnuts are the best choices. Try to eat less greasy meat to facilitate digestion and absorption by the intestines. Eat more pungent foods such as green onions, ginger, and garlic in moderation, as they have the effects of removing dampness, avoiding turbidity, promoting blood circulation, and exciting the brain's central nervous system. At the same time, you can also cook porridge with 30 grams of raw coix seed, 20 grams of hyacinth bean, and 10 grams of Chinese yam, or drink tea brewed with 20 grams of kapok flower and 15 grams of red bean. Adopting the above methods can have a good effect on eliminating spring drowsiness.
Fifth, use your brain scientifically.
Using your brain scientifically means giving the left hemisphere of the brain appropriate rest. The brain has two different hemispheres, left and right. In daily work in spring, the left hemisphere is mainly responsible for language, mathematics, abstract thinking, etc. For people who do mental work, the right hemisphere is used less and is relatively more relaxed. Therefore, when the mind is unclear and there is a headache, you should put down your work, listen to music, enjoy flowers and plants, or do some gymnastics to let the right hemisphere be active and used, and the left hemisphere to rest appropriately. More importantly, exercise can make the brain, which consumes the most oxygen in the human body, replenished and supplied in a timely manner, which is beneficial to relieving fatigue and drowsiness.
Sixth, brush your teeth and wash your face frequently.
Brushing your teeth and washing your face is a relatively simple and effective way to eliminate spring drowsiness. When drowsiness strikes, you can use fragrant toothpaste to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, and wash your face with cold water to refresh your mind. Spring is a beautiful season, but also the season when people are most prone to drowsiness. As long as people have the correct understanding and take active and effective measures, they can overcome the annoyance caused by spring drowsiness and spend the spring drowsiness season with ease and pleasure.
